Today I'm going to show you an AI model
that just dropped and almost nobody's
talking about it yet. This thing has a 2
million token context window. That's
insane. It can handle images. It thinks
step by step like a human. And people
are already using it to automate entire
workflows. I'm going to walk you through
exactly how to use it and how you can
start making money with it fast if you
are willing to take action and follow
the steps in this video. Hey there. So,
if you haven't already noticed, I'm Nick
Ponte's AI avatar. While The Real Nick
is busy helping businesses with Mina
Marketing, Hawaii's fastest growing
marketing agency, I'm here dropping the
latest AI hacks, tools, and money-making
strategies. The Real Nick reads every
single comment on these videos. So, make
sure you comment below. And listen, if

subscription-based customers, grab my

links in the description. All right, now
let's get into it. So, here's what's
happening right now. There's a new AI
model called Sherlock Alpha that just
showed up on Open Router and most people
have no idea what this thing can do.
Open Router announced it on their
platform and the AI community is going
crazy trying to figure out where it even
came from. Some people think it's
connected to XAI and Grock. Nobody knows
for sure. But here's what matters. This
model has features that most AI tools
don't have. And if you know how to use
it, you can offer services that your
competition can't touch. First thing you
need to know, Sherlock Alpha has a 2
million token context window. Let me
break that down. That means you can feed
it massive amounts of information all at
once. Think entire client databases,
full marketing campaigns, tons of
customer data, and it can process all of
it in one go without forgetting
anything. Most AI models start
forgetting stuff after a few thousand
words. Sherlock Alpha can handle way
more. This is huge for agencies because
you can analyze everything about a
client's business in a single
conversation. No more splitting up tasks
or losing context halfway through. The
second big thing is it can handle images
and text at the same time. It's
multimodal, so you can upload
screenshots of ads, product photos,
website designs, whatever, and it can
analyze them while also reading text
instructions. This opens up a ton of
creative possibilities. Here's where it
gets interesting for making money.
Sherlock Alpha has this feature called
step-by-step reasoning. It thinks
through problems like a human would. You
can actually see its thought process,
and that makes it really good at complex
tasks that need planning. Now, let me
tell you how most people are going to
use this wrong. They're going to treat
it like chat GPT. they're going to ask
it basic questions and get basic
answers. That's a waste. The real power
is in what you can automate with this
thing. Here's what I mean. Let's say you
have a local business client. They need
social media content. Most agencies hire
a designer or use basic AI to pump out
generic posts. But with Sherlock Alpha's
huge context window and multimodal
abilities, you can feed it the client's
entire brand guide, past posts, customer
reviews, and competitor examples all at
once. then tell it to create 30 days of
personalized content that matches their
voice and speaks to their specific
audience. You just automated what used
to take days of work and you can charge
the same price or more because the
quality is better. That's the difference
between using tools like everyone else
and actually understanding how to
leverage them. I used to work full-time
as a mechanic. I was under cars all day
getting dirty and barely making enough
to get by. But when I started learning
how to use AI tools like this one,
everything changed. I figured out I
could offer services to businesses that
saved them time and made them money. And
that's how I transitioned to making
money full-time online. Tools like
Sherlock Alpha are what made that
possible. The key is not just using the
tool, it's knowing what to build with
it. Let me give you some real
opportunities. Opportunity number one,
ultra personalized creative assets. Most
businesses need ads, graphics, social
posts, email headers, all that stuff.
And they need different versions for
different audiences. Sherlock Alpha can
take a single concept and spin it into
dozens of variations tailored to
specific demographics or platforms. You
can offer this as a service and charge
monthly for ongoing creative production.
There's actually a company called the
Sherlock Company that's already doing
this with AI. They automated their
creative content production and scaled
it way up. You can do the same thing for
clients. Opportunity number two, deep
audience research and segmentation.
Sherlock Alpha can process huge amounts
of data, customer surveys, website
analytics, social media comments,
purchase history. You feed it all in and
it finds patterns that humans would
miss. Then you create hyperargeted
campaigns based on what it discovers.
Most marketing agencies are still
guessing about their audience. You can
come in with actual datadriven insights
and blow them away. And businesses will
pay premium prices for that. If you're

description. All right, opportunity
number three, automated copywriting and
content strategy. Sherlock Alpha's
reasoning ability makes it really good
at creating persuasive copy, not just
generic stuff. I'm talking about sales
letters, ad scripts, landing pages,
email sequences, all customized to
specific niches. You can set up
templates and workflows where you plug
in a client's information and Sherlock
Alpha spits out complete campaigns. Then
you just review and send. This means you
can take on way more clients without
hiring more people. Opportunity number
four, marketing automation at scale.
This is where it gets really powerful.
Sherlock Alpha supports something called
parallel tool calling. That means it can
do multiple tasks at the same time. It
can pull data from one place, analyze
it, write content, and push it to
another system all in one workflow. If
you know platforms like Highle, Make or
Zapier, you can connect Sherlock Alpha
to them and build insane automations,
email follow-ups, lead scoring, chatbot
conversations, CRM updates, all
happening automatically while you sleep.
The businesses that figure this out
first are going to dominate because
they'll be able to serve more customers
with less effort. And that's how you
scale an agency past six figures and
beyond. Opportunity number five,
competitive intelligence and market
research. Here's something most people
overlook. Sherlock Alpha can scan and
synthesize information from tons of
sources, competitor websites, industry
reports, social media trends, news
articles. You can use it to build
ongoing research dashboards for clients.
Big companies already do this, but now
you can offer it to small and medium
businesses that could never afford it
before. That's the opportunity. Now, let
me show you how to actually get started
with Sherlock Alpha. It's available
through Open Router. Open Router is a
platform that gives you access to tons
of AI models through one API. You don't
need to be a programmer to use it, but
it does help to understand the basics.
First, go to Open Router's website and
create an account. It's free to start.
Then you'll get an API key. That's
basically your password to access the
models. Sherlock Alpha is listed as
Sherlock think alpha on their platform.
There's also a faster version called
Sherlock- Alpha if you need speed over
deep thinking. Once you have access, you
can start testing it. The best way to
learn is by giving it real tasks. Don't
just ask it questions. Give it projects.
Feed it documents. Make it analyze
things. See what it can actually do.
That's how you'll figure out what
services you can offer. Here's a pro
tip. Most people will use Sherlock Alpha
for oneoff task. But the real money is
in recurring services. Think about what
clients need every single month. Content
creation, data analysis, reporting,
campaign optimization. Build systems
with Sherlock Alpha that handle those
tasks automatically. Then charge monthly
subscriptions. That's how you build real
recurring revenue. You're not trading
time for money anymore. You're building
systems that work for you. Another
thing, don't try to compete on price. If
you're just offering basic AI services,
someone else will always undercut you.
Instead, focus on results. Show clients
how much time you'll save them or how
much money you'll make them. Position
yourself as the expert who knows how to
use these tools to get real outcomes.
The AI community on Reddit is already
discussing Sherlock Alpha and trying to
figure out its origins and capabilities.
Get in early while it's still new, and
you can be the expert in your niche. And
remember, tools are just tools. Sherlock
Alpha is powerful, but it's not magic.
You still need to understand marketing.
You still need to know how to talk to
clients and solve their problems. The AI
just makes you faster and more
efficient. Some people think AI is going
to replace marketers and agency owners.
That's not true. What's going to happen
is the marketers who use AI will replace
the ones who don't. That's the real
shift happening right now. So, here's
your action plan. First, go sign up for
Open Router and get access to Sherlock
Alpha. Second, start testing it with
real projects. Don't just play around.
Give it actual work. Third, figure out
what service you can offer with it. Pick
one thing and get good at it. Fourth,
find your first client and deliver
results. Fifth, repeat and scale. It's
that simple. Not easy, but simple. The
people who win are the ones who take
action, not the ones who watch videos
and do nothing. You can do the same
thing. Start messy. Get better as you
go. That's the only way to actually
build something. All right. So, if you
want to go deeper on how to get higher
